Khan Academy: Subject, Direct Object, and Indirect Object

Curated by ACT

A subject is the noun phrase that drives the action of a sentence; in the sentence "Jake ate cereal," Jake is the subject. The direct object is the thing that the subject acts upon, so in that last sentence, "cereal" is the direct object; it's the thing Jake ate. An indirect object is an optional part of a sentence; it's the recipient of an action. In the sentence "Jake gave me some cereal," the word "me" is the indirect object; I'm the person who got cereal from Jake.
